Good Morning from Paradise!

I’m kind of obsessed with San Pedro. Makes sense why Madonna wrote a whole song about this place — everyone gets around on golf carts, the people are beyond friendly, and we’ve been living off fresh caught fish and lobster.

How does anyone have a shitty time on vacation? I know those types exist. They probably complain about the sand being too sandy. Or order chicken tenders at a seafood restaurant.

May I never meet those people. Actually I think I already have — they are the people who walk around barefoot in a Days Inn.

Today is our girl Tif’s birthday — the reason we were all invited on this trip.

I’m blessed to have been on multiple all-girls trips now where not everyone knows each other, and the only common thread is one person. They’ve all been AWESOME.

I would like to thank my friends for having great “friend filters.” Because nothing ruins a group vacation faster than one person who makes everything about themselves or complains about the Wi-Fi.

The Hustle

I haven't checked my email in three days.

Three. Days.

Do you know what happened? Nothing. The world kept spinning. My career didn't implode. Nobody died (except maybe my ‘inbox zero,’ but that's a tomorrow problem).

There was this moment on day two where I felt the itch. That little voice that says "you should be doing something." And I was like, "I AM doing something. I'm drinking a piña colada at 11am and making friends with a pelican named Tim."

Turns out that's a perfectly valid use of time.

Four years without a real vacation taught me a lot about my hustle. But this week is teaching me something just as important: how to stop. How to let my brain actually rest instead of just pretending to rest while secretly working.

I'm not editing standup clips. I'm not checking analytics. I'm not networking. I'm just... here. With good people and good vibes drivin’ 3mph on a golf cart down cratered dirt roads and having a fucking blast.

If you're waiting for permission to take your own vacation, consider this it. The work will be there when you get back. The hustle will still hustle.

Take the chill. Always take the chill.

The Chill

This is what I've been working toward.

Not just the vacation itself, but the ability to actually enjoy it without guilt. To trust that everything I've built is solid enough to survive a week without me micromanaging it.

My dad's healing at home. My newsletter is writing itself from a beach (kind of) — I woke up to watch sunrise this morning and it’s now 8:24 and I’ll be scheduling this off to all y’all, chillin on a boat by the time it hits your inbox.

My goals for 2026 are still waiting for me when I get back.

I’m so thankful for this time to just… be.

See you next Tuesday, friends. Recharged, tan, and probably still finding sand in weird places.

Happy Belize-ing. ✨

Upcoming Shows

Anchorage, Alaska next week Jan 22nd!!

I just got my confirmation for dog sledding sent this morning. Adventurous few weeks!

We are still deciding which city to film my next comedy special in. Feel free to indulge in the conversation. I’ll respond when I’m back from paradise :)

Love you all and cheers to the hustle + chill. We love that beach life.
